Bean v. Portenier - Unpublished Civil Appeal Opinion
Summary
Washington Court of Appeals Division II issued an unpublished civil opinion in Bean v. Portenier (Docket 60850-2) on April 14, 2026. The appeal originated from Pierce County Superior Court concerning a civil dispute between Tyler Bean et al. and Mardez Portenier, DVM. The opinion was authored by Judge Bradley Maxa with concurrence from Judges Rebecca Glasgow and Anne Cruser.
What changed
This is a routine state appellate court ruling in a civil dispute between private parties. The unpublished opinion resolves the appeal but explicitly states it should not be cited per Washington GR 14.1(a). The opinion does not create binding precedent and has limited precedential value.
For practitioners, this unpublished opinion does not require changes to compliance programs or legal strategies as it lacks precedential authority. However, parties should review the full opinion to assess whether individual case outcomes affect ongoing or related matters.
